Commercial Litigation
Commercial litigation involves disputes related to your business.
There are few people who like being caught up in litigation. That being said, it is often an essential tool available to you to help protect your interests when other avenues have failed.
Gill & Mulholland LLP began as a commercial litigation firm, and this continues to be the bed rock of our practice. We are entrepreneurs ourselves and understand the difficulties businesses face when deciding whether to commence litigation or to defend a lawsuit.
When legal issues arise, it is never too soon to discuss those issues with someone who can provide you sound guidance and assist you with analysing the problem, the options available, and the legal ramifications and costs associated with the courses of action available to you in any given situation, including ways of avoiding lawsuits and the steps you need to take to mitigate potential losses.
Although it may appear, at first, that litigation is the only course of action in the circumstances, there are usually other avenues available to you and it is important that you have experienced and trustworthy counsel to help you make sound decisions and help you avoid potentially costly mistakes.
Our time-tested approach is to rely on our experience to discover creative solutions to your problems, while at the same time keeping your businesses’ bottom line in mind.
We handle a range of commercial disputes, including, but not limited to:
Contractual disputes,
Director and officer disputes,
Shareholder disputes,
Oppression claims,
Bad faith claims,
Negligence claims,
Insurance disputes; and
Real property litigation.
As a result of our client centred approach, we adapt to and meet the needs of businesses of varying sizes and structures, working to achieve results as expeditiously as possible.
Our goal is to attempt to find viable solutions without the necessity of an expensive and time-consuming trial; however, sometimes trials are required, and in such instances, you will benefit from our teams’ experience in seeing the trial through, regardless of whether you are pursuing a claim or defending one. We have represented clients in mediations, arbitrations and at all levels of civil court in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.
Our goal is not only to resolve contentious litigation, but, with the assistance of our corporate lawyers, to build long lasting relationships with our clients and to help them reduce the risk of future litigation.
